You must be doing it wrong…

Ha! I see what you did there….

I still have a Jackson Warrior. Love that beast. The compound radius neck is awesome.

Keeping it PRS

Thanks for saving me the trouble of finding that to post it!

My brother in law had a BC Rich Dimebag Darrel signature one that he left at my house for a month. I played it both standing up and sitting down and it felt like the guitar wanted to stab me lol

I don't have any pointy guitars today but maybe I'd get something like a Flying V in the future!

The Gibson Flying V specs are incredibly comfortable to play. I wish I would have discovered this fact back in the 80's. But I didn't know anyone who had one back then and so I wound up favoring the Les Paul style of guitars. I had never heard of PRS guitars until the 2000's.

Does anyone know the true history of this guitar? I thought it was a Tremonti creation, but someone is arguing it is a Lady GaGa. Any truth to either of these tales? I do have a pic of Mark, Paul and Rich Hannon with it from 2015.

I don't remember the exact details, but it was a Tremonti thing. May have been an April Fools joke for all I can remember. It resides at Brian's now.

I thought I remembered hearing Prince's name in that story back then.

This was my last pointy guitar. I shouldn't sell it. Regrating every day

No, although I had Cazares guitars in my hands, too. A friend of mine is a guitar collector. I bought this one from him back in 2007, I believe. It was a prototype or an employee model built by Matty Baratto, an Ibanez LA Custom Shop employee at that time. Cool guitar

I never liked the Scorpions and didn't know anything about them back then. (Which reminds me of the time I was in a high school garage band and our female bass player recited a line for us from one of their songs "The ***** is hungry, she needs to tell, so give her inches and feed her well" as though she were both astonished and appalled at the same time.)

However, The first time I ever heard of a Flying V guitar was courtesy of the band Triumph and that 1981 album cover "Allied Forces" which featured a Flying V style guitar. But someone back then told me that Flying V's were impractical and only for use on stage to look cool. I foolishly believed that for the next 30 years until I actually played one. Now I own at least four of them.

I’m pretty sure I remember a picture of Mark T with the guitar.

Thattttsssss…..

That King V is killer!
Pre-PRS, I abused a Mustaine King V Pro.

I actually traded in one of those for my first PRS.

Not completely pointy, but in the vain, a 1981 Washburn A20V.
